Bear Market Comparisons Year to Date 10/15/2008

So how is my IRA doing compared to the usual indices
and to Berkshire Hathaway in this Bear Market. Not so
bad in comparison but like most other portfolios I am
down a lot more than I expected when the year began.
This Bear has turned my 401k into a 301k on paper. I
have not sold anything but I did buy a share of BRK
last Friday when it was on sale in the morning.
